It is widely worn by women in wedding and other parties out of choice and fashion. On such occasions mostly it is wrapped round the waist, neck or just put on a shoulder.

In Pakistan the traditional wedding ceremony is celebrated by wearing different clothes in each wedding event. Usually, the style and designs of wedding attire vary across different regions from north to the south among different ethnic communities, however, in major urban cities such as Karachi, Lahore, Faislabad, and Rawal-Pindi, on occasion of the Rasm-e-Heena (Mendhi), men wear an embroidered kurta or Kameez in glittering colours with simple shalwar, and a colorful shawl which they put on their shoulders and sometimes round the neck. In some weddings, dress code is decided before the ceremony and all men wear the same color. Up to the wedding day, the bride may wear a yellow^[26] or orange kameez, with a simple shalwar, patiala shalwar,^[27] yellow dupatta and yellow paranda — more commonly in the Punjab region of Pakistan.
